Saw that one on youtube. Gotta love the "soulful" sound those
bikes make at wide open throttle. The Isle of Man rocks.....
I wish I had a fraction of the riding ability that those guys have,
not mention the BA11s. That event would be something to see
for sure. Yup, I like to go FAST. But I'll live vicariously on youtube. ;D

Cool vid.  But every time I think about this race, this pops into my head.  Sorry.

Most of that footage is not from the Isle of Man TT. The TT is a timed race where you rarely get riders on the same part of the track at the same time.
I see the Manx GP, NW200, Ulster GP and a few other Irish road races in there.

Having never been there, I didn't know. I am envious of you who
can/ have experienced it, or better, raced there, at any of those places. Cool stuff.. 8)

It's about the only thing we excel at, that and chucking bricks.  ;D

Can I say "poof"?
Only joking, I hate riding in the rain on the street.

We used to ride like that back in the day. Granted not at those speeds but as fast as a 70's bike goes. Very few cars on the road and a lot less bikes. It was always a race. The RD400 was the boyo.
I travelled with GS1000, Z1000R, CBX. I'd always say "see you at the first corner".
